Oh no…. what’ve you started here ???? At least the pressure is off me now

So I’ve strayed away from the original post. That doesn’t make my comments incorrect

Exactly, my experience too.

No they don’t. Most countries allow to stay and move freely for the duration of your visa.

Of course like most of us on this forum I never met him in the real world, but I dare say there are few of us who had not sought or followed his advice at some time. Without question he smoothed the way for many of us. Personally I had more than a few private chats with him and and from that it was clear what thoroughly decent man he was. I’m truly saddened by this news and wish all his family the very best. RIP Joe.????

The idiocy of this TM30 thing defies sanity. I can only think that the “powers” are just trying to find work for their officers to do.

I have called Thailand home for a long time. As for your country, well I think your description of Thailand fits it quite well.

Have you sent your CV to TAT yet? You’ve got the job, start Monday.

In our dreams!

Substitute the word PROPERTY for COUNTRY.

You could also use Grab for a lot less than 1200 and still avoid the hassle.

Oh that line again. Bangkok isn’t London. Not wanting to be ripped off doesn’t doesn’t mean you’re a cheap Charlie, it means you’re smarter than someone who happily gets overcharged.

Me to a T.

But you were happy to let him wring every last baht out of you.

Doesn’t matter, he’s ripping you off. For 500 baht you’d be way beyond Bangkok. I never get in a taxi if he’s tried to pull the no meter scam even if he changes his mind.

Yes but that’s your farang logic. You don’t understand.

Do you ever make any sense?

Wow that’s about as xenophobic as it gets. Thankfully I have self respect and will always fight discrimination of any kind.

The point is he wants to wear it

I’ve never had or wanted a card. The only thing it stops me getting is a huge printed invoice instead of a normal till slip.

And you thought the victim was stupid.

Given that you seem happy to pay any surcharges/taxes hotels think they can hit you with, I’d like to invite you stay at my establishment. Rooms are 100 baht +++++++

A perfect case of blaming the victim.

Based on National Park rates it’s about the same

I’ve always believed there’s something lacking in people who don’t like dogs. Now I’m certain.
